Author Description

The third terrifying volume in the award-winning anthology series of original queer horror. Like the final girl in a slasher film, the LGBTQIA community knows first-hand what it's like to fight for its survival. Beaten and bloodied after an extended chase scene through modern-day politics and the courts, we think we've triumphed and conquered our oppressors. We breathe a little easier knowing our rainbow is ascending in the distance. But-like the indestructible slasher villain-our enemies rise up again and again, as if on a looping third-act jump scare. It's a seemingly never-ending return to battle as the pendulum of progress swings back. In this third volume of the award-winning anthology series, the darkest minds from both the LGBT+ and horror literary communities join forces to bring readers an all-new collection of terrifying tales from that line on the horizon where the dark rainbow rises.
